Does God punish us?

And God’s anger blazed against Israel. He said, “Because these people have thrown out my covenant that I commanded their parents and haven’t listened to me, I’m not driving out one more person from the nations that Joshua left behind when he died. I’ll use them to test Israel and see whether they stay on God’s road and walk down it as their parents did.” (Judges 2:20-22)

God’s punishment is an act of correction and direction to His presence.

We can choose to make decisions to please our worldly desires. We can satisfy ourselves without giving attention if we are doing the right or wrong things. Without careful attention to our actions and decisions, we can risk ourselves into getting into the pitfall of sin. It can cost our lives for eternity. Just like the Israelites, God wants us to stay into His presence. When we go wrong, He is always there to direct us. All we have to do is listen to His direction.
